 Just back from another stay at Baconsthorpe, little more to add from our previous reviews of the site.
Emma is lovely, the site is lovely.
We have stayed here many times, and will stay may times more.

This beautiful campsite is in the perfect location to visit lots of the North Norfolk coastline. We were around 35 minutes from Mundesley Beach, but there’s so many more places to visit. Felbrigg Hall NT was just 20 minutes away too and a 15 minute walk took us to the castle ruins run by English Heritage.
The site is tranquil and relaxed; we camped in the dog friendly non electric field and we saw lots of wildlife too. It’s very roomy, with large pitches and plenty of room for the kids to play balls games if they aren’t down the park. The facilities were very clean, and the showers were large with plenty of space to get dressed without everything getting wet. There were also freezers and washers. The little shop was open a couple of times a day, and the owner, Sarah was really friendly and accommodating.
An absolute gem of a site, we definitely recommend and have booked to visit again!

I have just returned from a lovely four-night break at this delightful spacious campsite, first time solo camping. Emma has truly perfected the art of campsite management!
Everything is immaculately maintained, with everywhere being so neat and tidy, and the facilities are spotlessly clean.
The showers are particularly good, complete with hooks and a bench for all your bits and pieces as well as a large area in which to get dried.
Plenty of sinks for washing up, as well as a room with a freezer for ice packs, a washing machine, tumble dryer and a hairdryer.
For those with children, there is a super play area with lots of space for them to let off steam.
The nearest shops, cafes, etc. Are in Holt which is about three miles away.
It's certainly a site I will be returning to, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a base to explore North Norfolk.

Beautifully run site, it's spacious and well-kept with lovely clean, modern facilities and a little shop with essentials in at extremely reasonable prices. eg pint of milk for a pound, 25p each for single eggs. It also has ice cream, sweets and bits for making fires in their fire pits which you can borrow for free.
The owner was lovely and allowed us to help ourselves to the herbs she had growing in planters around reception, and showed us where the swallows were nesting in the washing up shelter.
It's a short drive to both sherringham and Cromer - which we know well and are lovely, and a mile or so walk to the little castle ruin along a country track.
There's very little road noise, and aside from the building works going on while we were there, (and other people's children 🙉) it was really peaceful.
Would certainly return, and probably take up one of the very sensible "not near the children's play area" booking options next time!

Our new favourite campsite
Positives
Great pitch sizes. Able to choose a pitch when you book
Lovely welcome on arrival at the shop
A shop that sells most things you would need, even airbeds
Plenty of toilets showers etc and all very clean
Noise curfew at 10pm that was well observed
Not too busy at easter bank holiday weekend
Fire pits free to use and logs to purchase
Good play area equipment
Zero negatives
We are planning on coming back for a weeks break in the future, as its a great base near the coast with everything you need for a comfortable relaxing camping holiday

Just back from another long weekend at Baconsthorpe, the site is looking better than ever, spotless as usual.
The showers are as strong and hot as ever.
We visit this site at least once a year now.

The only time we've ever returned to the same campsite!
We really like it is tents only (the glamping is quite separate), peaceful and spacious.
The toilets and showers don't look much from the outside but they're actually really nice - cleaned regularly and a good strong shower with loads of space to get changed.
Lots of space for ball games, making friends etc. Not far to drive to the beach or supermarket.
The on site shop is also very handy and all the staff were friendly and helpful.
A great stay again, thank you.

The site is level with well tended grass and spacious pitches. We had a EHU pitch.
It's situated approximately 2 miles from Holt down a narrow country lane probably not suitable for large vehicles and caravans but the site is tent only.
The facilities are kept very clean but I think it would benefit from a few more toilets. There seems to be plenty of free showers with preset hot water at a nice temperature.
I would prefer some low level lighting on the paths and by the facilities.
It has a 10oclock ban on unnecessary noise which is pretty well observed. I personally think it ought to be a 10:30 or 11:00 curfew but others may disagree.
All in all a very pleasant well run site which we would happily visit again.

The site was just what we wanted plenty of room to experiment/put up properly a new tent extension.
Toilets showers and wash up area kept very clean
Friendly welcome though at first it appeared nobody was there you had to telephone but the owner turned up within a minute and was very welcoming explaining all about the facilities.
Definitely stay their again

Another excellent long weekend at Baconsthorpe Meadows. Not much has changed since last year's visit, but the wildlife was particularly good this time.
All the facilities remain excellent; if I had to level a criticism it would be that the hand dryers are really temperamental.
Emma manages all this beautifully: everything is wonderfully clean whatever the weather, the shop is really useful and there is no evidence of fuss - just competence, efficiency and help available when you need it.

We are just home after another stay at Baconsthorpe and were again delighted. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly by the host, who made us feel right at home.
The campsite itself is impeccably maintained, with well-groomed grounds and clean facilities. Lots of room while still offering a sense of tranquillity.
Relaxing by the campfire under the starry night sky is magical. In addition to the natural beauty of the surroundings, the amenities provided at the campsite were top-notch.
Clean toilets, hot showers, and conveniently located water stations made our stay comfortable and enjoyable.
Overall, our experience at Baconsthorpe is positive in every way. We have stayed before, and will stay again.

My third visit to this excellent campsite and it's better than ever.
The new showers are superb - adjustable temperature and the Push Buttons of Doom actually give a good 20 seconds or so of hot water at very good pressure. The water here and in the washing-up sinks (now under permanent cover) is softened, so you really need the pressure to rinse the soap off.
Lavatories are smart and kept very clean. A useful separate room houses a washer, a dryer and two full sized freezers.
The reception / shop sells useful staples, firewood, charcoal etc. Whilst we were there it was open between 4:30 and 6. There's wifi round reception but there's good 4G across the site.
It's just over three miles to Holt for shopping; Leatheringsett farm shop is a couple of miles beyond that. Sheringham and Cromer are also within very easy reach.
Baconsthorpe castle is under a full scaffold at the moment and closed to visitors. It looks like a long project, so worth checking the EH website if you're keen to visit it.
The grass is kept beautifully and the ground holds pegs exceptionally well. EHU is 16A and solid. Pitches are extremely generous.
The owner, Emma Youngs, is formidably competent and runs this site really well. It's peaceful and perfectly organised - Emma's around if you need anything but leaves you alone otherwise. In the eight years we've been coming here she has steadily improved the details whilst preserving what's always been best about the site. Brava.

There was nothing not to like.
Facilities great and the fact that there was also a park for children even better.
It was fantastic to be able to have use of the fire pits, after all what is camping without a camp fire.
Excellent stay, will be going back.
